Behind The Lens
Location
A lake/park we visit regularly. On Long Island in New York. They have many birds species and we enjoy seeing them, even though we are not 'birders". Been following these 3 since the baby was born.Time
We normally visit in the later mornings or early afternoons. To get some of the better light and when the park is open.Lighting
It was a nice clear, bright day, and the lighting was optimal.Equipment
Shoot with a bridge camera (more lens, less weight)-Lumix FZ300 with a Leica DC Vario Elmarit lens: 24x zoom (25 600 millimeter with Full zoom range F2; 8 aperture for enhanced low light shooting meeting the stringent quality standards established by LeicaInspiration
Just the way the family of swans were moving from one part of the lake to the other, in a straight row, like soldiers on a march.Editing
Some cropping, straightening and color correctionIn my camera bag
Les and less, advantage of a bridge (Ior good point & shoot)-spare battery (almost always).Feedback
Patience, birds of any kind require waiting, continue looking for them and what they are doing. When you see your shor-TAKE IT.
